## Knot IQ Reviews in United States

### ***** "Pretty Cool"
I can remember the knots, just not always how to tie them. What a great low-cost app  this is. Love the shoelace knot!!
-- ChrisF62, 2025-11-10

### ***** "Best knot app"
Best knot app
-- Savage Chris 4190., 2025-11-07

### ****- "Nice resource but incomplete"
You're missing the Ian knot for shoelaces! It's the fastest way to tie shoe laces and is quite durable.
-- LongingForPhysicalButtons, 2025-11-04

### ***** "Easy, even for beginners"
I’ve always been terrible at knots. This lets you control the time and angle and is perfectly clear, even if the coordination required to make the knot itself is tricky. I wish I had this 30 years ago.
-- Bg002h, 2025-11-03

### ***** "Great app!"
Easy to follow examples, makes tying secure knots easy.
-- FlashBang, 2025-11-01

### ***** "Awesome!"
Thank you DJ for this, this is how most apps should be!
-- _Nick92_, 2025-10-31

### ***** "My favorite knot app so far"
I have several knot apps, and have used them all over the last year. This wad a new app and didn’t think I needed it but figured since I am already a Bear Essentials fan I should try.  
The animations and animation controls are great. The various attribute pieces, from the name to the common name to intended uses, is well described.  I really love the layout and organization. Its a terrific app. I have Knots Guide, Knots 3D, Grog, and Knots Guide. All very good in their own respects but this Knot IQ is for me the most useful and easiest to follow.
-- gryphyx, 2025-10-28

### ***** "Complete and Friendly"
I really enjoy having the favorites section and allowing me to control the speed and angles of the demos - well thought out and executed app!
-- Richnasser, 2025-10-27

### ***** "Great for learning"
My grandson is in scouting and I want him to get his badge. This way he can learn these knotts
-- cheap guy 4162, 2025-10-25

### ***** "Knot IQ"
Great app works flawlessly. Have not used offline yet. Keep the updates coming.
-- cnb212121, 2025-10-24

### ***** "Theatrical Stagehands Essential"
Whether you’re a new theatre stagehand or someone that just wants to learn new knots, this app has been very helpful and easy to navigate. All the knots you need in one app.
-- T of the H, 2025-10-21

### ***** "Best Knot App I've Used"
In 2020 we bought a hobby farm (an echo from my childhood). Suddenly needed lots of knots. Tried several apps, this is the best. 

Graphic demonstrations are spectacular. Play them slow to learn, or fast for a simple reminder. 3D is available, but I generally haven't needed it. 

Use-cases, explanations, etc. are thorough. And connects seamlessly to blog articles for more in-depth discussion. 

I bought the premium version, got more than my money's worth.
-- DeletedThisApp, 2025-10-15

### ****- "Nice. But small"
Very good collection of knots, and like the animation. Wish the text was a bit bigger, or controllable, especially in menus where there’s lots of wasted “margin” space. Use the whole screen please.
-- Spin The Compass, 2025-10-14

### ***** "Great knot resource"
I would highly recommend this app for anyone wanting to learn knot tying. The animated tutorials are easy to follow, and the additional information for the uses, pros, and cons of each knot are very helpful.
This is a must have app for those getting into rope access or rope rescue work.
-- Avg78, 2025-09-28

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
I used to see knots, now it’s blank, empty, worthless.
-- both Husband AND wife, 2025-09-28

### ***** "Knotology"
Great app
-- SevillaPortraits, 2025-09-26

### ***** "Top Knot-ch!!"
Great app with lots of info.  A must have!
-- jamesbee74, 2025-09-20

### ***** "The knot app to get"
I’ve used them all. This is the one I keep.
-- DLMango, 2025-09-19

### ***** "Knot Too Shabby!"
This is how apps should be.  One time purchase, family sharable, offline, and doesn’t collect your data enriching yet another billionaire. This will come in super handy when my memory fails on some of the more niche and obscure knots.
-- Raymond Fortnight, 2025-09-17

### ***** "Essential Tool"
This is by far one of the best apps for Knots. I’m always looking for better ways to access knots that I can’t remember and this helps!
-- Jolly448832, 2025-09-08
